Abstract

We explain how the TOTEM toolbox can be used to engineer an operational network. TOTEM is an open source TOolbox for Traffic Engineering Methods which covers IP- based and MPLS-based intradomain traffic engineering (TE) algorithms, but also interdomain TE. In this paper, we use the toolbox as an off-line simulator to optimise the traffic of an operational network. To help an operator choose between an IP-based or MPLS-based solution, or find the best way to load- balance a network for a given traffic, our case study compares several IP and MPLS routing algorithms, evaluates the impact of hot-potato routing on the intradomain traffic matrix, and analyses the worst-case link failure. This study reveals the power of a toolbox that federates many traffic engineering algorithms.

An open source traffic engineering toolbox

We present the TOTEM open source Traffic Engineering (TE) toolbox and a set of TE methods that we have designed and/or integrated. These methods cover intra-domain and inter-domain TE, IP-based and MPLS-based TE. They are suitable for network ...
Traffic engineering in a multipoint-to-point network

The need to guarantee quality-of-service (QoS) to multimedia applications leads to a tight integration between the routing and forwarding functions in the Internet. multiprotocol label switching tries to provide a global solution for this integration. ...
Deriving traffic demands for operational IP networks: methodology and experience

Engineering a large IP backbone network without an accurate, network-wide view of the traffic demands is challenging. Shifts in user behavior, changes in routing policies, and failures of network elements can result in significant (and sudden) ...
